Manuscript Editing for Nucleic Acids Research Journal Articles
Nucleic Acids Research publishes leading-edge research into the physical, chemical, biochemical, and biological aspects of nucleic acids and the proteins that work with them. Its range includes computational biology, genomics, RNA biology, and synthetic biology, with a Database issue each January and a Web Server issue each July. Oxford University Press publishes 24 issues a year, fully open access. Its senior executive editors are at the MRC Laboratory of Molecular Biology in Cambridge and Fred Hutchinson Cancer Research Center in Seattle.
The journal publishes standard research articles, Methods articles, Critical Reviews and Perspectives, and Database and Web Server articles. The abstract is one paragraph of up to 200 words, without citations, URLs, or figure references. Database and Web Server abstracts include their URLs. References are numbered in order of appearance, with the first three authors before et al. and Chemical Abstracts journal abbreviations. Materials and Methods precede Results. A graphical abstract, alt text under each figure caption, and a Data Availability statement are required. Review is single-anonymized, typically with two reviewers. Initial submissions go in as a single PDF, with an ORCID iD.

Manuscript Editing and Proofreading for Nucleic Acids Research
We offer three levels of manuscript editing depending on what your manuscript needs. Each is described below so you can choose the service that fits where your draft is right now.
Grammar and usage, awkward phrasing, repetition, and passive voice corrected, then clarity, concision, sentence structure, transitions, and tone, with your style manual applied throughout and a final proofread. For authors whose argument and structure are settled.
Clarity, emphasis, and paragraph structure: topic sentences, transitions, and sentences reordered within a paragraph, with every fact and claim kept as you wrote it. Includes copy editing and a final proofread.
Spelling, punctuation, typos, capitalization, grammar, and usage corrected with minimal wording changes, for manuscripts that have been edited and need a last check before submission to Nucleic Acids Research.
The NAR author guidelines cover article types, abstracts, references, and data. If you have reviewer comments from an earlier submission, send them with your manuscript and we will address each one. If you have questions about which service is right for your manuscript, contact us directly. We respond to every inquiry the same day during business hours.
Our scientific editing services include biological copy editing, line editing, LaTeX and Overleaf editing, and Vancouver and author-date citation formatting. Academic proofreading covers the final read. If English is your second language, see English language editing for researchers. We also prepare articles for Genome Biology and The EMBO Journal.
